> In 2016, Opera was acquired by an investment group led by a Chinese consortium.

Adding to that, the acquired company isn't even the original Opera Software. They divested of their browser, sold it to a Chinese consortium, and changed their name to Otello to focus on their ad business.

The new Opera likes to promote their Norwegian roots everywhere, but it is very much a Chinese business with an overseas office.

So what’s up with everyone saying that is being sent to China? Is it just FUD?
Please inform yourself. It's bought by Chinese and is in their full control. That they program this shit in Norway doesn't matter. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_(company))
Why would I inform myself? I asked the parent regarding this.
